Nightmare on 58th Street

Chapter 3:The nightmare.

I read in Joyce Meyer’s book a passage that said, “Even though we may not see where we are headed or even feel His presence with us, we must keep on taking the steps that are set before us, encouraging and strengthening ourselves with the knowledge that God is working out everything for the best for us as we follow Him in childlike faith and confidence.”That passage took on a special meaning as we entered this new facility that we called Nightmare on 58th street!We came to the ICU unit of Select with great expectations.It was a brand new facility and the rooms were huge with flat screen T.V’s and a chair that laid down into a bed.But, it was so eerily quiet that it was disturbing.My friends Shearl and Mike had brought their son Mickey there about a week ahead of me so I was happy I had someone to talk to.Whitney had to leave and go back to school and I had a meltdown or two or three becauseI missed her terribly.There were no doctors at this facility but the specialist stopped in to see the patients.We had a lung doctor named Dr Alder who was a little Jewish man and he was A.D.D.We were told he was awesome so I didn’t worry too much.Now I can laugh!

About me

I live in rural northwest Oklahoma, I am 50 something! lol, years old and I was married 37 years to a wonderful man. Dennis passed away April 2, 2017. We have one daughter, Whitney and now a son-in-law Nick. They live in Stillwater, Ok. My husband Dennis was a oil field pumper for 26 years, 11 years ago he had a dirt bike accident that left him paralyzed from the upper chest down and had a diaphragmatic pacemaker to help him breath. It changed ours lives forever. I felt like we were the only people in Oklahoma to travel this road and started looking for some caregiving blogs on Spinal cord injuries and didn't have much luck. So I wanted to start one and maybe help some people or listen to people who needed help or just needed to talk. Now I am trying to decide whether to blog or not to blog. I guess I will take it one day at a time.
